The crown was barely atop Miss America on Sunday night when some tweeters started spreading some hateful comments, much like they did when San Antonio’s mariachi, Sebastien De La Cruz, was attacked in June on Twitter feeds for singing the National Anthem during the Spurs playoffs.

He was mistaken for a Mexican (he’s American of Mexican descent). Miss New York, Nina Davuluri, is the first Indian-American to win the title. Some even called her Miss Al Qaeda.

Really, people, it’s time to grow up. America is a melting pot. We don’t all look the same.
